Suppressing left-hand piano dynamics

[Christopher R. Maden]

I’ve found the nice snippet in the learning manual for creating a
Dynamics context.  However, as I am making MIDI and PDF output, I would
prefer to have the dynamics intrinsic to each voice, and merely suppress
their redundant engraving.

As you can see in the attached, I’ve successfully suppressed the
redundant vocal dynamics by removing the New_dynamic_engraver from the
voice.

However, I have been unable to suppress dynamics from the left hand in
the piano accompaniment.  I’ve tried removing both Dynamic_engraver and
New_dynamic_engraver from the Staff and from the only Voice in the
Staff, and neither has worked.  (These four items are commented out in
the attached example.)

If I have to use the Dynamics context demonstrated in the learning
manual, I will, but it will significantly complicate the separate
construction of the MIDI and layout, instead of just unfolding repeats.
 Any advice would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Chris
